" The reverence which is almost universally shown towards ancestors 
is but an extension of the commandment, ‘Honor thy father and thy 
mother.' ” — Phillimore. 

"Genealogy is the great unit of history; the line of demarcation 
between barbarism and civilization. The earliest writers of the human 
race began history with it ; and Moses, the great law-giver of the Jews, 
recorded it with marvelous accuracy." — Andrews, the historian. 

" Genealogical research has a special and unique fascination. We 
seem to make the personal acquaintance of kindred long dead, and we are 
made to feel the continuity of life in a way that strengthens faith in im- 
mortality. We dwell with pleasure upon ancestral courage, patriotism 
and fidelity to all that was true and pure — while we cast a mantle of forget- 
fulness over all shortcomings. The qualities that were best in our 
ancestors we recognize as best today and forever. Family history is inter- 
woven with our country’s history, particularly when its roots strike deep 
*nto Colonial times.” — Henry Parsons. 
































Gardiner — Wilemson 

////////////////////////// 

LION GARDINER 1 was born in England in 1599. His parents 
were Lionel Gardiner and Elizabeth Woodhouse. They were mar- 
ried Dec. 3, 1593, at St. Dunston’s, Stepney, London. Lion Gardiner 
was of Scotch-English ancestry. About 1628 he accompanied a 
millitary force sent by Charles the First from England to the support 
of Holland, and served as " an engineer and master of works of 
fortification in the legers of the Prince of Orange in the Low 
Countries.” His zeal as a Puritan and his ability as a leader of men 
are attested by his being selected by eminent Puritans to go from 
Holland to New England and construct works of fortification at the 
mouth of the Connecticut river and command them. For this 
pioneer service he entered into a contract for a period of four years, 
to receive four hundred pounds per year, and transportation and 
subsistence for himself and family to the place of destination. 

MARY WILEMSEN, 1 wife of Lion Gardiner, 1 was born in 
Woerden, Holland, in 1601. Her parents were Derike Wilemson, 
deurcant, and Hachim Bastians, his wife. 

July 10, 1635, Lion Gardiner and his wife left Woerden for 
Rotterdam whence they sailed in the little bark Batcheler v ia London 
to Boston, Mass. In the register at the Rolls Office, Chancery Lane, 
London, of the names of persons who left that port for New England 
during 1635, on page 95, the following entry was made : 

"XI Augusti. In the Batcheler de Lo : master Tho : Webb, vs. New 
England, Lion Gardner, 36 ; Mary Gardner, his wife, 34 ; Elize Coles, 
their maid serv’t, 23, & Wm. Jope, 40, who are to passe to New England, 
have brought cert, of their conformitie.” 

The Batcheler left London Aug. 16, put out to sea off Graves- 
end Aug. 18, and entered Boston harbor Nov. 28, 1635, the arrival 
being noted in a record kept by Governor Winthrop, as follows : 

" Here arrived a small Norsey [North Sea] bark of twenty-five tons, 
sent by Lords Say &c., with one Gardiner an expert engineer, and work 
base and provisions of all sorts, to begin a fort at the mouth of the Connec- 
ticut. She came through many great tempests, yet, through the Lord’s 

THREE 


great providence, her passengers, twelve men and two women, and goods 
all safe.” 

A letter from Edward Hopkins, forwarding agent of the Con- 
necticut patentees, to John Winthrop, Jr., dated " London the 16th of 
August, 1635, (per the shipp Batcheler, whom God preserve),” said : 
" I have now cleared of from hence the North Sea boatt. It was nott 
easy here to get any att this tyme to goe in soe small a vessel.” 

At a town meeting in Boston, held January 23, 1636, it was 
arranged to complete the fortifications on Fort Hill, and Lion Gardi- 
ner took charge of the work. Then, on request, he went to Salem 
to " see how fit it was for fortification.” He reported the people " in 
more danger of starvation than of any foreign potent enemy.” 

Lion Gardiner and party remained in Boston until the next spring 
and then the Batcheler proceeded to the mouth of the Connecticut, 
where he built Saybrooke Fort, so named in honor of Lords Say and 
Seale, and Lord Brooke, prominent factors of the Connecticut com- 
pany. The building of this fort was the first step in the colonization 
of Connecticut. It was in a region peopled by hostile Indians, and 
was almost constantly besieged by Pequoit braves until their village 
was destroyed and 600 of the reds killed, in May, 1637, by a force of 
colonists led by Capt. Mason. Then the building of cabins and the 
cultivation of the soil began in the vicinity of the fort. 

Lion Gardiner bought the island that bears his name, off the 
Long Island coast, of Yovawan, an Indian sachem, and his squaw, 
in May, 1639, the consideration being " ten coates of trading cloath.” 
The island was first known as the " Isle of Wight.” Possession was 
confirmed by the Earl of Starling, the island being included in 
a generous slice of the New World granted the Earl by the King of 
England. 

In July, 1659, the principal part of the present town of Smith- 
town, Long Island, was presented to Lion Gardiner by Wyandance, 
an Indian sachem, and his wife, because they had during many 
years " received much kindness from him.” 

In 1649 Lion Gardiner became one of the original purchasers of 
about 30,000 acres of land for the settlement of East Hampton. In 
1653 he moved to East Hampton. In 1658 he was one of the pur- 
chasers in the conveyance from the Indians of 9,000 acres of land on 
Montauk Point. 

Lion Gardiner was active in the affairs of the colony of East 
Hampton during the rest of his life. He died in 1663, at the age of 

FOUR 


64, survived by his widow, a son and two daughters. By will he left 
his " whole estate both ye Island and all that I have at East Hamp- 
ton/’ to his wife, to dispose of " as God shall put it into her mind.” 
The will was dated August 13, 1658. 

In 1664 Mary Gardiner, widow of Lion Gardiner, 1 made her will. 
She died early in the year 1665. She gave " my Island, called the 
Isle of Wight, (alias Monchonock), to my sonn David, 2 wholly to bee 
his during his life, and after his disease to his next heire Male.” In 
case David died leaving no heir male, the island was to go to " the 
heire male of my Daughter Mary.” The will provided that the island 
" bee a continuous inheritance to the heires of me and my husband 
forever.” The rest of the estate was equitably divided among her 
natural heirs — her son David, 2 daughter Mary 2 (wife of Jeremiah 
Conkling), and grand-child Elizabeth 3 Howell, (daughter of Elizabeth 
Gardiner, 2 deceased). Mrs. Lion Gardiner received a patrimony 
from her father in Holland, which she invested to good advantage. 

Gardiner’s Island is now (1920) owned by the 13th male heir of 
Lion and Mary Gardiner. It is a valuable country seat and game 
preserve, and under lease to a resident of New York at $100,000 per 
year. The island is famous as a place of refuge for wild birds and fowl.

Col. ELEAZER LINDSLEY, 4 (Jonathan, 3 Jonathan, 2 Francis 1 ) 
was born in New Haven, Conn., Dec. 7, 1727 : married Mary Miller 
at Morristown, N. J., Nov. 11, 1756; died in Lindley, Steuben County, 
N. Y., June 1, 1794. He had three brothers, Benjamin, Timothy and 
Joseph— Eleazer being the third son. 

The Lindsleys are of Norman descent, with a mixture of Scotch 
and English. The first of the family, so far as records extend, was 

EIGHT 


an officer in the army of William the Conqueror, that invaded Eng- 
land in 1066. Francis Lindsley, born 1600 at Sussex, England, (great- 
grandfather of Eleazer Lindsley 4 ), was an officer under Cromwell. 
Francis Lindsley 1 came to New England in 1659 and settled at Milford, 
near Branford, and thence in 1666, was one of the proprietors and 
first settlers of Newark, N. J., being one of the signers of the "Funda- 
mental Agreements ” under which the new colony was governed. 
Later he settled at Morristown, where he died in 1704, aged 104 
years. John Lindsley, Sr., father of Francis, and a son, John, Jr., 
came to New England about 1648. 

The children of Francis Lindsley, 1 the emigrant, were John, 
Benjamin, Joseph, Ebenezer, Josiah and Jonathan, and five daughters. 

Jonathan Lindsley 2 gave Morristown its public square and gave 
the site of the First Presbyterian Church. His son Jonathan 3 was 
the father of Col. Eleazer Lindsley. 4 

Eleazer Lindsley 4 owned and conducted a farm near Morristown 
and was proprietor of a tannery ; he received military training when 
a young man ; on Jan. 15, 1777, the Continental Congress voted him a 
commission as Lieutenant Colonel in Colonel Oliver Spencer’s New 
Jersey regiment ; he saw hard service with the regiment, helped defeat 
the British at Monmouth, was on detached service, entertained both 
Washington and LaFayette at his home, was given a signet ring by 
LaFayette, was a member of the Assembly of New Jersey in 1781, 
assisted in conducting treaties with the Indians that opened Western 
New York for settlement, purchased township of Lindley in 1789, 
planted a colony there in 1790, was first representative of County of 
Ontario, (1792), in State Legislature — then all of New York State 
west of Seneca lake and generally known as the Genesee Country. 

Col. Eleazer Lindsley was associated with others in " The New 
York Genesee Land Company,” of which Caleb Benton, of Hudson, 
was the head. The State prohibited the purchase by individuals or 
companies of land from the Indians. The " Genesee Company,” act- 
ing in conjunction with " The Niagara Land Company,” of which Col. 
John Butler, British Commander of Fort Niagara, was the head, in 
1787, by treaty with the Iroquois Indians, leased all the lands of these 
Indians in New York State for a term of 999 years. The Niagara 
company was to have the Indian lands west of Seneca lake and the 
New York Genesee company the Indian lands east thereof. The 
" lessees ” agreed to pay the Indians $20,000 in cash and an annual 
rental of $2,000. The Governor of the State refused to sanction the 
deal and the Legislature in 1788 passed an act declaring it unlawful.

However, the New York Genesee company, believing their lease 
would hold, in the spring of 1788 opened a land office at Kanadesaga , 
(now^ Geneva), and June 1 Col. Lindsley arrived there. He traveled 
on horseback from Morristown, N. J. He was given hearty welcome 
" by Col. Bonham, Messers. Hollenback, McKinley, Gill, Doctor Ben- 
ton and other friends,” as duly noted in his carefully kept diary. 

Col. Lindsley, employed by the " lessees,” at once proceeded to 
survey lands along the entire east side of Seneca lake, laying out a 
town site ten miles square at " Apple Town,” with large farms on 
either hand, each farm being oblong with lake frontage. He reserved 
a farm for each member of his family and a "great lot” next south of 
"Apple Town ” for himself, and brought on men from Tioga Point 
to build a number of cabins and make other betterments. 

State interference with " lessee ” plans caused Col. Lindsley 
to seek lands elsewhere. Accompanied by his sons-in-law, Dr. Ezekiel 
Mulford and Capt. John Seelye, the " Painted Post ” section of the 
Genesee Country was explored and it was decided to locate on the 
Tioga river. The fact that the Tioga river and connecting streams 
were navigable between the place selected for settlement and Chesa- 
peake Bay, was duly considered, for Seneca lake was land-locked. 
The Seneca lake holdings and betterments were disposed of. August 
13, 1789, at the conclusion of the Indian treaty at Canandaigua, by 
which the section of the Genesee Country between Seneca lake and 
the Genesee river was thrown open for settlement, Col. Lindsley 
received from Oliver Phelps a deed to " Township 1, Range 1, in the 
County of Ontario,” now known as Lindley. 

Thirty-seven persons constituted the party of first settlers. They 
came up the rivers from Wilkes-Barre, with several flat boats carrying 
women and children, household belongings, farm implements. Some 
of the men poled the boats up stream, and others rode horses or 
walked along the nearby Indian trail, driving cattle and sheep. The 
members of the party included Col. Eleazer Lindsley and wife 
and their children, Sarah aged 14 and Phoebe 10 ; their married 
sons Eleazer, Jr., and Samuel and families ; two sons-in-law, Capt. 
John Seelye (husband of Elizabeth) and Dr. Ezekiel Mulford (husband 
of Nancy), and children ; Joseph Miller brother-in-law of Col. Linds- 
ley, and six negro slaves (three men, a woman, a boy and a girl.) Dr. 
Stephen Hopkins, another son-in-law, (husband of Jemima), with his 
wife and their infant child, stopped off at Tioga Point where he was 
persuaded to locate. 

Mary Miller , 2 wife of Eleazer Lindsley, 4 was born at Morris- 
town, N. J., in 1738 ; died in Lindleytown, N. Y., in 1806. Her parents 

TEN 


were Thomas Miller and Mary ( Wallace ) Miller, who came from the 
northern part of Ireland ; they were Scotch. Their children were 
John (born at sea), Thomas, Joseph, Mary (wife of Col. Lindsley), and 
Isaac. Mary Miller was well educated, gifted as a writer of poems, 
managed the farm and household with energy and skill in trying 
times during the War of the Revolution, and endured the hardships 
of pioneer life in the Genesee Country in a manner worthy of highest 
praise. She was a true and faithful Mother of the American 
Revolution.

was born at East Hampton in 1764, married Nancy Lindsley, daugh- 
ter of Eleazer Lindsley 4 and his wife Mary (Miller 2 ); died in town 


ELEVEN 


of Lindley, N. Y., of pneumonia typhus, Jan. 12, 1813 ; she died the 
preceding day and they were both buried in one grave. The disease 
was an epidemic that started in New England in the spring of 1811 
and spread from community to community, causing many deaths. 

Dr. Mulford studied medicine and surgery first as an apprentice 
and doctor’s assistant, as was then the practice, at Sag Harbor and 
later served in a military hospital at Morristown, N. J. He married 
Nancy Lindsley and they migrated to Wyoming, Pa., on the Susque- 
hanna, and were among the first settlers of Lindley, in June, 1790. 
Dr. Mulford brought surgical instruments and medical supplies. 
These, together with the household furnishings and eatables, were 
lost in a fire that destroyed the log cabin home on Christmas Day, 
1793. The cabin stood on Meeting House Hill, near Watson Creek, 
about half a mile from the Pennsylvania line ; nearby, on the creek, 
were a saw mill and a grist mill each run by an over-shot water 
wheel. The mills were built by Col. Lindsley. 

Dr. Mulford was the first member of his profession to locate in the 
Painted Post section of the Genesee Country. He cultivated the 
friendship of the Indians by ministering to their needs without price. 
He owned a large tract of land in the township of Lindley. When 
his estate was settled most of the land was sold for the benefit of 
his " land poor ” heirs. Later all his children shared in the estate 
of their grandfather, Capt. Mulford, of Sag Harbor, Long Island.

Jane Davis, daughter of James C. and Susan Horn Davis, of Corning. 
Eleazer Perry Mulford in early manhood assisted his father in run- 
ning a water-power sawmill on the homestead in Lindley ; for a num- 
ber of years he rafted oak timbers down the Tioga, Chemung and 
Susquehanna rivers to tide-water, for use in ship-building ; he was a 
millwright and iron-worker ; after building and operating sawmills 
at Lamb’s Creek, Pa.; Risingville in town of Thurston, N.Y., (1852-’55), 
and on Willow Creek, near Corydon, Pa., (1858-’60), he devoted his 
time to the sale of steam engines and other machinery for operating 
lumber mills, tanneries, etc. He superintended the construction of 
such industrial plants in various Northern and Southern States, and 
had just completed the erection of a large saw mill 11 miles from 
Mobile, Ala., when Fort Sumter was fired upon and the Civil War 
began. After trying experiences, he, six months later, succeeded in 
leaving the South and joining his family at Addison, N. Y. 

He invented an incendiary shell that was used by Union gunners 
during the Civil War; it was charged with a fluid. 

Soon after the close of the Civil War he erected a large saw 
mill on the James River, Virginia, for a company, and operated the 

SIXTEEN 


plant for a number of years ; in 1869-72 he built for the owner of a 
large plantation in East Baton Rouge parish, La., and managed a 
group of mills that included a sugar mill, grist mill, plant for sawing 
and fitting lumber for building purposes, and the largest and most 
complete cotton ginning, pressing and storage warehouse in the State. 

While Eleazer Perry Mulford was in charge of these mills, the 
C astro, a river boat, rated at 123 tons, that made weekly trips between 
the plantation and New Orleans, was snagged and sunk in Bayou 
Manchac near its junction with Amite river. The boat was comple- 
tely submerged. A New Orleans firm of wreckers tried to raise the 
craft and failed. Eleazer Perry Mulford took charge of the project 
and succeed in raising the craft and floating it to a ship yard. 

Eleazer Perry Mulford was a charter member of the Masonic 
Lodge at Mansfield, Pa., and later organized a Masonic Lodge that 
met in his home at Risingville. He was a member of the Methodist 
Church and at Risingville and also near Corydon was instrumental in 
providing for religious services and maintaining public schools.

Horn (daughter of Abraham Horn and Susannah Hay, of Easton, Pa.) 
Susannah was a daughter of Adam Hay, who lived at Easton, Pa. 
Abraham Horn served in the Revolution as a Sergeant in Colonel 
Arthur Sinclaire’s Second Pennsylvania Battalion, and was a Lieuten- 
ant-Colonel in the War of 1812.

Caton, N. Y., and Jackson, Pa.; the school buildings were of logs; oiled 
paper was used for window lights, and a fire-place provided heat. She 
was skilled as a spinner of flax and wool ; had extensive knowledge 
of the medical value of garden and wild plants and shrubs, which 
she used in her own home and for the benefit of others ; during the

Treasured Documents. 


That the men and boys of the American Revolution were better 
soldiers and sailors than the English was amply shown by results, and 
was mainly due to their training to meet the exigencies of warfare 
with the Indians. Every Colony had military organizations. The 
men who officered Washington’s forces were trained for the service. 
Col. Eleazer Lindsley was one of these men. With pleasure and 
pride his descendants will read the following tangible evidence of 
this statement — copies of military commissions granted to Eleazer 
Lindsle^, first when a youth, by the Governor of the Colony of New 
Jersey, later when of mature age and of ripe experience, by the 
Continental Congress :

By Order of the Congress, 

JOHN HANCOCK, 

'• CHA S. THOMSON, Secy. President. 


Original Deed Town of Lindley 


The township of Lindley, a tract of land six miles square, was 
purchased by Col. Eleazer Lindsley with a view to providing home, 
stead farms of ample acreage, including large timber plots, for himself 
and members of his family, and eventually for their children. For 
this purpose he reserved the south half of the township, six miles 
along the Pennsylvania line and three miles deep. The greater part 
of the north half of the town he sold to Gozen Ryerss and Hermann 
Garrison, of Staten Island, and was their agent in making sales of 
farms of 150-acres each to settlers, the heavily timbered sections not 
then being placed on sale. The whole township was surveyed by 
Col. Lindsley and plotted into farms and timber lots. 

In June, 1789, Col. Lindsley went to Painted Post to represent 
Oliver Phelps as a land agent. Phelps was then at Canandaigua 
arranging to hold a treaty with the Indians, that he might induce 
them to relinquish their right to the Genesee Country, that it could 
be opened for settlement. A few weeks later Oliver Phelps 'sent 
word to Col. Lindsley to come to Canandaigua and assist in conduct- 
ing the treaty. He did so. There in the month of August, 1789, the 
treaty was signed that transferred to Oliver Phelps and Nathaniel 
Gorham the right of the native tribes to all the section of the State 
between Seneca Lake and the Genesee River, bounded on the north 
by Lake Ontario and on the south by the Pennsylvania line. 

It was while attending this treaty that Col. Lindsley closed the 
deal by which he became the sole owner of the town of Lindley, and 
received from Oliver Phelps the following deed : 

To All People to Whom These Presents Shall Come, Greeting: 

Know Ye, that I, Oliver Phelps, of Canandaigua, in the County of 
Ontario, and State of New York, Esquire, for the consideration of one 
thousand pounds, current money of the State aforesaid, received to my full 
satisfaction of Eleazer Lindsley, of Morris County and State of New Jersey, 
Esquire, do give, grant, bargain, sell and confirm unto the said Eleazer 
Lindsley, the whole of Township Number One, in the Second Range of 
towns, beginning at the 88th mile-stone on the Pennsylvania line and run* 
ning from thence north two degrees and forty minutes east, six miles and 
allowance to a post numbered on the south side No. 1, on the north side No. 
2 ; from thence north 87 degrees and 20 minutes west six miles to a post 
numbered 2 and 1 ; from thence south two degrees and forty minutes west 

TWENTY -FOUR. 


six miles aild allowance to the 94th mile-stone on the Pennsylvania line ; 
from thence on said line to the place of beginning, containing twenty-three 
thousand and forty acres. To have and to hold the above granted and 
bargained premises with the appurtenances thereof unto him, the said 
Eleazer Lindsley, his heirs and assigns forever, to him and his own proper 
use and behoof. And also I, the said Oliver Phelps, do for myself, heirs, 
executors and administrators, covenant with the said Eleazer Lindsley, his 
heirs and assigns, that at and until the ensealing of these presents, I am 
well seized of the said premises as a good indefeasable estate in fee simple, 
and have good right to bargain and sell the same in manner and form as is 
above written ; and furthermore, I the said Oliver Phelps, do by these pre- 
sents, bind myself and heirs forever, to warrant and defend the above 
granted and bargained premises to him, the said Eleazer Lindsley, his heirs 
and assigns, against all claims and demands whatsoever. 

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal, the 
13th day of August, one thousand seven hundred and eighty -nine. 

OLIVER PHELPS. [ Seal ] 
Signed, Sealed and Delivered in the presence of — 

Witness : Sam’l Steel, John Calla, Ebenezer Backus, Ezekiel Mulford. 

Having received this deed, Col. Lindsley spent several weeks on 
his lands, sold a number of faftns, selected a site for his settlement, 
and then went on horseback to his farm home near Morristown, N J., 
to close up his affairs there and organize the colony that boated from 
Wilkes-Barre up the Susquehanna, Chemung and Tioga rivers, in 
May and early June, 1790, and settled near the junction of the Tioga 
and Cowanesque rivers. There being doubt about the sufficiency 
of this deed of the township, given Col. Lindsley by Oliver Phelps, as 
it bore only the name of Phelps while Nathaniel Gorham, of Boston, 
was also interested in the holding, in December, 1789, Col. Lindsley 
called on Mr. Gorham at Boston and secured the following acknow- 
ledgement, which was made a part of the original deed : 

KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, That I, Nathaniel Gorham, 
Esquire, of Charlestown, in the County of Middlesex and Commonwealth of 
Massachusetts, being equally interested and joint owner with Oliver Phelps, 
Esquire, in the above described township, and one-half the consideration 
money paid by Eleazer Lindsley, Esquire, being for my use and benefit, I 
hereby, for myself, my heirs and assigns, relinquish, release, grant, sell 
and convey to the said Eleazer Lindsley, his heirs and assigns forever, all 
my rights, title and interest in the above described township. 

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 
thirty-first day of December, one thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine. 

NATHANIEL GORHAM. [Seal] 

Signed and delivered in the presence of 
Witnesses: Sam’l Soley, Nath. Gorham, Jr.

Colonel Lindsley’s Diary 


Col. Eleazer Lindsley kept a dairy in which he recorded his 
adventures in connection with the opening of the Genesee Country 
for settlement. From this first-hand record the following is copied : 

May 15, 1788 — Set out from Morristown for Tioga Point, Etc. [Accom- 
panied by his son Samuel.] Arrived at night at Esquire Higgins. 

16— Lodged at Mr. Bird’s, near Delaware river. 

17 — Crossed the ferry ; cost 11 shillings. Lodged at Dutchman’s. 

18 — Arrived and lodged at Mr. Seaborn’s. 

19 — Lodged in the woods near Mr. Lups. 

20 — Lodged again in the woods. 

21 — Arrived at Wyoming; found all well. [Home of Dr. Mulford.] 

22 — Arrived at Capt. John Seelye’s ; returned to Doct. Mulford’s. 

23 — Set out for Tioga Point; lodged at Mr. Wigton’s. 

24 — Lodged in woods ; lost our horses. 

25 — At 12 o’clock found our horses and set out much fatigued. 

27— Arrived at Tioga Point and called on land commissioner. 

29 — Set out for the lakes to hasten Indian treaty. 

30 — Lodged at Mr. Brown’s at Newtown. [Now Elmira.] 

31 — Lodged in the woods between the lakes. 

June 1 — Arrived at Kanadasaga. [Geneva.] Number of Indians being 
not more than 50 or 60 and no likelihood of treaty soon, I on 2d went up 
the lake [Seneca] about three miles and crossed ; lodged in the woods. 

3 — Took view of the country. The most beautiful lake I ever saw. 
Fine timber abounds ; also vast numbers of apple and peach trees and 
gooseberry bushes. Whole towns may be laid out in farms. 

4 — Laid out a town on east side of lake with Appletown in center. 

5 — Staid out ; lay at Peach Orchard. 

6 — Arrived at Newtown. 

7 — At Tioga Point. 8 — Hired hands to make improvements at lake. 

[Col. Lindsley returned to the lake and superintended improvements ; 

attended Indian treaty at Kanadasaga ; secured right to land he had laid 
out ; " Set out for New Jersey ” the 20th of June ; reached home the 26th.] 

May 21, 1789, he left Morristown to seek a new location on a navigable 
river in the Painted Post section of the Genesee Country. He wrote : 

" I never felt so loth to leave home in all my life, nor longed more to 
to have my business settled, for my dear family’s sake.” 

On this trip he was accompanied from Wyoming by his sons-in-law 
Capt. Seelye and Dr. Mulford. He noted : " I being on business for Judge 
Phelps at Painted Post, he sent for me to attend the treaty with the Indians 
at Canandaigua Lake. Arrived there 29th of July ; about 2,000 Indians 
were assembled. I attended for sixteen days. The Indians behaved exceed* 
ingly well and we settled all our business and parted in great friendliness.”
